(8,361 posts)they have been told to hate all authority and attack anyone with power. Just like some are bigoted against anyone who has a lot of money. They MUST be evil. Just like Ron Howard, the bald, evil villain.
A lot of what drew people to DU was the absolute shock and dismay that a great injustice to our nation had been done. We were seeking a like minded group to ask how we fight back because the mainstream media was too afraid of their shocked, uber-patriot audiences post 9/11 to do much of anything in the way of investigative reporting on Bush crime family.
However, there were also those for whom DU provided a natural habitat from which they could lob all manner of wailing and attacks on the White House--not because of who was in the White House--but as a matter of principle.
They are the perennially dissatisfied. They are the righteous who must judge the rest of us because we don't cry every night thinking about the cows slaughtered for meat, who reuse their paper plates until they can see the table pattern through them, and who are militantly unhappy and will not rest until everyone else is.
Obama and any future president will NEVER do anything good enough for them. Just consider them background noise or trash their threads.
